Police: Woman strikes boyfriend with car, then leaves him in Eau Gallie Arts District

A motorist struck and injured her boyfriend after an argument while two children were in her car Sunday, Melbourne police said.

The hit-and-run crash happened in the 1500 block of Highland Avenue about 10:30 p.m. A policeman on patrol in the area said he came across the injured man, laying injured on the curb. The man said he had been on the sidewalk when he was struck by a car driven by his girlfriend, Carrie Christine Weadon, 24, according to the affidavit.

The injured man told police he was in the passenger seat with the children in the back seat when the argument with Weadon happened. She stopped the car on Highland, near the man's home, and ordered him to step out, the affidavit states. He began walking on the sidewalk and was struck by Weadon's car, he told police.

"All I remember is my head hitting the windshield," the man told officers before he was taken to a hospital by paramedics.

The car also struck a fence, according to police.

Police went to Weadon's home in the 200 block of Ocean Spray Avenue in Satellite Beach and took her into custody. Officers noted damages on the car.

Weadon was charged with aggravated battery causing bodily harm, two counts of child abuse without great harm, leaving the scene of an accident with bodily injury and reckless driving resulting in personal injury.

She remained at the Brevard County Jail on Wednesday in lieu of $30,500 bail.
